The DEI was developed by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability: IN, in consultation with disability advocates and business leaders as a comprehensive benchmarking tool for disability inclusion. The Index measures key performance indicators including: culture and leadership; enterprise-wide access; employment practices; community engagement; supplier diversity; and non-U.S. operations.
“We’ve been laser focused on attracting top talent that bring a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and skills to M&T Bank,” said Tracy Woodrow, chief human resources officer at M&T. “In order to attract the best talent, we remain committed to building an inclusive team reflective of the diverse communities we serve.”
